Introduction to SveltePlot, a layered grammar of graphics visualization framework for Svelte from Svelte Summit Spring 2025, by @driven-by-data.net‬ is now available on our YouTube channel. youtu.be/Lqkx-RO6PEs

New: I recreated Tomas Wright’s 1742 astronomical treatise, Clavis Cælestis, and its accompanying sheets titled A Synopsis of the Universe. New posters are available in antique style and modern colors. Explore: www.c82.net/clavis-caele... How it was made: www.c82.net/blog/?id=99

Better world maps for mobile! Despite years of mobile-first design, there’s been little experimentation in this area. So we designed our own at NZZ – and validated it in a large user study. Summary of the paper: jonasoesch.ch/articles/the... 1/3

Get yourself a cup of tea and sit down to check out the ultimate thread on animation in dataviz:

So @driven-by-data.net just launched SveltePlot, which merges my 2 fav things in #DataViz: Svelte and the Grammar of Graphics. 100% going to use this! Site: svelteplot.dev Gregor's slides: www.vis4.net/slides/svelt... #SvelteSummit

New project! Made a tool lets you explore, subset and summarize over 10M rows of data from the Time Use Survey of India in your browser. How people in different states, professions and groups spend their time? And then export your findings for #dataviz too! diagramchasing.fun/2025/time-us...

Look, they weren't all going to be winners. #30DayChartChallenge

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

Come for the cute images, stay for the thoughts on the future of ux:

I wrote something on the state of and outlook for indie dataviz. "Crisis? What crisis? — Why 2024 was a dead year for indie dataviz — and how we’ll do much better in 2025" truth-and-beauty.net/texts/crisis...
